Navam and Chitre died just a week after a Metropolitan Transportation Authority worker was killed by a train while working on the tracks.
Moet McCullum, a 41-year-old construction-flagger from Brooklyn, was on the southbound side of Yankee Stadium station about 11.30pm on September 3 when she was fatally struck.
She had been preparing to set up lights on the tracks to alert oncoming drivers to the presence of a work crew, but the operator of the D Train did not report seeing any lights and continued down the tracks at normal speed.
